Japanese Woman’s Jacket - Late Meiji (1880-1911). Features huge auspicious motifs arranged closely together, some superimposed over others, resulting in a bold graphic powerful statement. All the motifs can be grouped in to what the Japanese refer to as ‘takara-zukushi’ (all kinds of treasures). The treasures that we can identify include ‘kakuregasa’ (hat of invisibilty); ‘tsuchi’ (mallet, which when struck grants all the bearer’s wishes); ‘magatama’ (ancient curved bead); ‘nunobukuro’ (bag of unlimited wealth); ‘chouji’ (cloves); ‘makimono’ (scrolls of wisdom and longevity); and ‘shippo’ ( overlapping circles).
Measurements: blade length: 50 cm (19-½ in.). Overall length: 74,5 cm (29-¼ in.)
The sword features chiseled bone-pieced hilt and scabbard engraved with figures. It has a cut-out copper tsuba and accessories ornated with flowers. The blade is slightly curved.
I got a ton of Pokemon sprites today and have nothing to do with them. I highly doubt this’ll get any notes, but reblog this and I’ll put a Pokemon sprite in your submit box that reminds me of your blog.
